Children's Privacy

Our service is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. This strict age requirement is due to the nature of our services, including cryptocurrency transactions and participation in third-party offerwalls. If we discover that we have collected personal information from an individual under 18, we will immediately delete such information and terminate the associated account.

Data Breaches

In accordance with UK data protection law, in the event of a data breach that may affect your personal information, we will notify the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible. We will also notify you without undue delay if the breach is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms.

Dispute Resolution

While not legally required, we aim to resolve any concerns you may have about how we process your personal data. If you have concerns, please contact us first. If we cannot resolve your complaint, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk).

We partner with third-party offerwall providers to provide you with earning opportunities. When you choose to participate in offerwall activities, we share certain personal information with these providers, including:

• Your username
• Email address
• IP address
• Any additional information required by specific offerwall providers to verify task completion

This information sharing is necessary to:

• Track and verify your offer completions
• Prevent fraud and multiple accounts
• Ensure proper crediting of rewards
• Comply with offerwall provider requirements

By using our offerwall services, you explicitly consent to this sharing of information. Each offerwall provider may have their own privacy policy and terms of service. We encourage you to review these policies before participating in offerwall activities.

While we carefully select our offerwall partners, they are independent third parties. Their use of your information is governed by their respective privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their data handling practices.

Age Restriction

Our services, including cryptocurrency operations and offerwall participation, are strictly limited to users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect or process personal information from individuals under 18 years of age. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from someone under 18, we will take steps to delete such information and terminate the associated account.
